………..Bellydance: From the Heartbeat to Breakbeats………..

Date/Time: Wednesdays 7-9 (includes 1/2 hour yoga/exercise at begin/end)

An ancient, ever-evolving dance, the bellydance unites women throughout time and space. Like the very women who dance, bellydance itself is mysterious and often misunderstood- it is both sensual and strong, both primal and sequined. Many manifestations of this ancient communion have developed around the world, each vividly painted by the culture in which the dancers live and move. One thing remains true throughout: dancing bellydance is even more of an extraordinarily wonderful experience than watching it! Bellydance unites the dancer with the divine complexities of music, muscles and self.
This class is for those who dream of exploring:
~fundamental movements of the bellydance
~unique dance sequences
~development of personal style
~confident improvisation

The class will also include:

~yoga and stretch/strength/tone exercises
~music exploration
~herstory of the dance

For students of all ages, shapes, fitness levels. Pregnant women welcome, but please call ahead. All classes are shaped by student ability, all movements can be modified as needed. Careful personal attention is given to ensure good exercise, healthy posture and develop individual strength & skill.

Price: $10/class, $50/6-class pass

Level: Beginner/Intermediate

Enrollment: is a wonder-full idea! Come on by! Bring friends!
Attire: Loose pants, scarf for waist. Supportive snug top. Covered bellies are OK!
Yoga mat & bottle of water suggested.

Instructor: Bryna Rose
I have been bellydancing since 2000 and dancing to hiphop-funk-jazz-latin breakbeats since childhood and find that the movements and music of these two art forms are easily translated into each other: mama’s heartbeat is the original breakbeat! Inspired by both street dancers and tribal fusion bellydancers alike, I seek and explore the divine feminine within the raw human through uniquely modern organic dance moves.

World renowned, stadium packing, Bassnectar plays at
Ong King Arts Center.

A glance at Bassnectar’s enormous resume reveals, all
the major festivals, an award winning album and packed
shows throughout North America and Australia, his
innovation has amassed a dedicated fan base, crossing
over from hip hop to electronica to breakbeat to
ragga/dub, the jam band scene and the greater
Burningman scene. This ‘Sonic Expression’ Island 2007
tour is to support the new album on OM records (out in
April) entitled “Underground Communication” – a sonic
adventure through multidirectional styles and genres.

The mere idea of Bassnectar playing at the 200
capacity Ong King Arts Center is perplexing. It is a
tribute both to his past relationship with
Quadraphonix percussionists Eli Clemens and Jonathan
Heroux, and his desire to play in unique venues that
have passion in the air.

The first full length Bassnectar CD, Mesmerizing The
Ultra, a double album debut on Organic/Amorphous
Music, was a tremendous success. With Bassnectar
remixing and/or collaborating with the likes of,
Michael Franti & Spearhead, Buckethead, Michael Kang
(The String Cheese Incident), FreQ Nasty, Saul
Williams, Noam Chomsky, Cheb I Sabbah, Sound Tribe
Sector 9, Crash Berlin, Landslide, Heavyweight Dub
Champion & KRS One, and Perry Farrell. Bassnectar’s
sound has benefited from a wide lens of exposure, and
evolved from cutting edge dance music to where it
exists today: a mutant mash-up of multiple styles and
genres.

Imagine the heaving basslines of Drum ‘n’ Bass and
Breakbeat, the massive beats of old school Hip Hop
(think Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Run DMC), glitchy
tones and sonic tricks of modern Electronica/IDM
(think Prefuse 73, Plaid, Pest, Underworld, Aphex
Twin) all mashed up with hip hop lyrics, cut-up
dancehall/ragga vocals, samples of political speeches
(from activists like Noam Chomsky, Mumia Abu Jamal,
Michael Ruppert, Martin Luther King, etc) and pumped
through a variety of tempos. The new Bassnectar music
is an exotic blend of both the listening experience
and the dance experience.

Ong King’s own first friday spinner, DJ Joulz will
open up the night of music, dance and revelry.

It’s baaaaaccck!

To those of you who have been before, it’s at the same place and it’s going to be the same awesome vibe with great music!

“”Naked Words” Opening Night

“Naked Words” is a one-woman show that takes a vulnerable look at topics including racism, gender stereotypes, abuse, sexuality and love through the eyes of published writer and award-winning poet Bridget Gray. She challenges audiences to ponder issues using a combination of realism, spirituality and humor in a collection of her poems, short stories and monologues linked with music and dance. “Naked Words” is a journey of the joys, fears and triumphs that relate to everyone’s human experience.

Before the show “My Letter to Hip-Hop” an 8 minute Narrative Short Film and Winner of the Best Narrative Short and Best Actress awards in the 2006 Elevate Film Festival will be screened. “My Letter to Hip-Hop” is a compelling and powerful commentary on one woman’s exposure to and transcendence from misogyny in Hip-Hop culture. This film last screened at the Girl Fest Film Festival in September to rave reviews.

An Opening Night Reception Party will follow the performance until 2:00am with DJ-turntableist- HOP and slam poetRY

The Hellcaminos are more than just a punk band or a Rockabilly band. They are a band trying to survive amidst a scene full of people not ready for change. Hawaii is the land of Top 40 Radio. They are a band that shouldn’t exist here, but they do and if they can change the way one kid feels about local music then they’ve done their job. Their crazy stage shows and catchy songs have made them one of the most popular bands in Honolulu’s underground music scene
